subdivision $vEarly works to 1800 is being reviewed, is it timely to reconsider
its scope in another respect? The present instruction to apply it to works
‘written or issued before 1800’ means that it should be applied to
any modern edition of an early text with relevant subject headings. Thus
content is the primary consideration, not form.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span lang=EN-GB style='color:windowtext'>Does the rare book

the content of the work may be of historical rather than of current interest?
Or would it prefer to restrict the subdivision to works issued before 1800, as
a way of flagging up that the item being catalogued is not borrowable, will
have to be read in an invigilated reading room, etc.? This would turn it into a
form subdivision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>As to "Early works...", it looks as if the
community is of one accord. Keep and apply ad lib. If I had my druthers, one
could also or alternatively use "Works, Xth century", as a more
fine-grained way of dating the work, not the publication: very FRBR, that.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>I'll keep this simple:<br>
<br>
1. Keep the subdivision: Yes!<br>
2. Expand its scope: Yes!<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hello, all,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m on a SAC subcommittee making recommendations for
the disposition of the genre/form subdivisions established as 185 records in
the subject authority file. We’re discussing the subdivision —Early
works to 1800 right now.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>First, I assume we want to be able to continue using this as
a subdivision in 650 (etc.), correct?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Second, would there be interest in expanding its scope? At
the moment it’s only allowed “under names of countries, cities,
etc., and under classes of persons, ethnic groups, and topical headings for
individual works written or issued before 1800.” E.g., it can’t be
used under names of persons in 600 fields; in addition, SCM 1576 forbids its
use in the following situations:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><b><i><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"'>5.

<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would personally like to see the subdivision become
completely free floating, i.e., allowed in any subject string without the
omission requirements of SCM 1576. What do the rest of you think?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Third, would there be interest in establishing the term
“Early works to 1800” (or something similar) as a genre/form term,
allowing its use in 655? <o:p></o:p></p>
